Re Serena, hard to overstate just how much of a pain (and worse) most players find whereabouts testing:

For Emma Raducanu, a year that began in trying circumstances is ending in a much happier place.

The 23-year-old will enter next season with the support of Rafael Nadal's former coach Francis Roig and a clear plan, both on and off the court.

Emma Raducanu looks beyond fixated behavior ordeal: ‘It taught me the strength that I have’ Raducanu will enter her first full season with former Rafael Nadal coach Francis Roig with a clear mind and a clear plan.

Good to see Emma Raducanu so positive when a few of us spoke to her on Friday. A year that started in such difficult circumstances seems to be ending on a high. And not just because she nearly halved her ranking in 2025 from No. 56 to No. 29

A tennis trick shot gone wrong at the Davis Cup and the fine line between class and ‘clown’ France's Corentin Moutet is a master of the unexpected – but at the tennis equivalent of the World Cup, his showmanship backfired.

From @theathletic.com: France's Corentin Moutet is a master of the unexpected – but at the tennis equivalent of the World Cup, his showmanship backfired when a trick shot went catastrophically wrong.

Haha, thanks!

And from an optics perspective for Frank, when the number one concern of a fanbase is can you make the step up, are you a bit smalltime, and you do that for the NLD, it's so so damning

Because when the hypothetical upside doesn't feel enormous, days like yesterday become even harder to take

Like many in the media, and I know this irritates some fans, I've always found Frank extremely personable and respectful - which is not nothing given some of his predecessors. But obviously that's not a priority for supporters and I can see why many feel sense of ennui and drift

Because does anyone *really* believe he's going to be here for years and be Spurs' Klopp/Arteta? He's always instinctively felt to me like the stabilising in-between guy.

And so when you get a result and performance like yesterday what are you left with?

But the broader issue imo is that if you go with a safe pair of hands manager, you're so results dependant. Because what is Frank if not a kind of sensible Ange antidote who will make Spurs competitive again? And with a manager like TF you can't even really talk in project terms

Don't think yesterday could realistically have gone any worse for Frank (other than things really unravelling at 3-0). To go in with that approach in that fixture and for it fail so badly is an instant deal-breaker for a lot of fans. Esp as the players looked so uncommitted.

Ha, I did not. No way I was risking it on live television

The future of the Davis Cup, the annual ‘World Cup of tennis’ that players want less often The team competition produces moments of drama and fervor, but does its format get in the way of their becoming the norm?

With the Davis Cup, could tennis finally get on board with the idea that less is more?
